In this video I'm using Strathmore Bristol Board (300 series, vellum) paper, a Hunt 104 and Speedball C-4 nibs, and Winsor and Newton Black Indian Ink.

This is my favorite video you've ever made! Gorgeous work!!

"And ink's already all over my hands..." I mean, you aren't really dip pen inking if you don't have ink smudged all over your fingers. Nice job on the map and nailing the style. Also impressive line control on the borders.

Turned out great! I love digital art but there's something so satisfying about creating a piece of analog art that you can hold in your hand. Great video.

I didn't give a crap about making maps but your channel has given me a newfound appreciation, you just have a great way of talking about the art of it all

@sw33n3yto00 2 года назад

You definitely have more patience with nibs than I have ever been able to accomplish. This map is amazing.

@taranthyll 2 года назад

Great map! I think the lettering turned out really well. I love using Crowquills, and a tip I picked up from Walden Wong, an inker for Marvel and DC comics, is to use an eye-dropper to load your nib instead of dipping it into the ink. This avoids all of the issues you mentioned and keeps your nib from getting gunked up. Once you try it you'll never go back to dipping.

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY AWESOME. I love your videos!

How fortunate! I was just debating whether or not to make a Tolkien style map. This really convinced me to give it a go! Thanks JP!

Loved this! Will definitely try a quill

@Wuschli 2 года назад

Your map is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the process. Now I am tempted to try inking like this myself. Great work

@randomwatermelons6542 2 года назад

Dang that is amazing, I would love to see a city map using this technique. Thanks for the great video!

@DeathCatInHat 2 года назад

Love the map and I compleatly agree on all the box sets. I recently got my hands on the box set for Magical Kitties Save the Day and the two Mausritter boxed sets are on the way. I can hardly wait to get them.

@digvag7648 Год назад

This is so cool 🌞

@TAMaps-zo4ey Год назад

Got like 2-3 sets of quills, including some glass dip pens. I was planning to use them for quality maps.. I finally got an order where I would love to use these, around 20 A2 maps that need to be made before August reaches... Unfortunately mastering ink&quill mapmaking takes more time than I got so I would stick to fineliners for now. But your insight on drawing using ink and quill is really helpful! Keep going!

@DrBrule-ht2ms 2 года назад

Just got this in my recommended without ever seeing your channel before, but I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Fellow artist, fellow Tolkien nerd, love the narration and I like your style. A well earned sub.

@TheWrathfulProser Год назад

This is amazing! BTW to help dry the ink you can get a rocker blotter for a few bucks on Amazon. You can put thick paper in there or paper towel to soak up extra ink on the paper. It also makes you feel like a ye olde cartographer or writer!

@sdcwarzone 2 года назад

Wow...Amazing job. I think its hard enough to do my own style of anything let alone copy someone else's. Well done!

@TheVioletMaze 2 года назад

Love that you put that real nice border, just like how you were inspired by the borders of that map book you recently reviewed. I never used a pen like that before, but after watching this, I definitely want to! Thanks for demonstrating how to use the pen!

@JPCoovert 2 года назад

Thank you for noticing the border :)

@derkapitanzursee26 2 года назад

Hey JP Coovert, first up I rly like your Videos sooo soo much and you rly helped with my Mapdrawing. I just picked up Mausritter and asked myself what is a good way to draw a Mausritter- like Hexmap. A video with that topic could surely help me out so much. Thanks ;D

@-adc Год назад

I got (back) into pen and ink stuff after taking a 10 year sabbatical and doing all digital and other stuff, and I love it so much. (FWIW, this isn't a knock on digital artistry at all.) Since my day job is doing development and design (on a computer), I actually feel it is therapeutic to pull out the pens and inks, watercolors, etc and draw or paint.

@-adc Год назад

Also +1 for The One Ring. I love the set and the quality, lore, artwork, etc.

@JPCoovert Год назад

Yes! I always try to have some sort of project going that isn't created on the computer. Otherwise I would go insane!

@-adc Год назад

If anyone is looking for a quality piston fountain pen that won't break the bank (no dipping, easy to refill) I highly recommend the TWSBI Eco. I have been carrying an Eco in my pocket for a couple years now, and never leave home without it. The only down side is that now when someone hands me a BIC to sign something it feels like a caveman making crude scratches in the dirt... ;) I have used Platinum Carbon Ink, which is not cheap, but is totally worth it. It is a true black, dries rapidly, is actually waterproof, and the carbon particles do not gum up even my ultra-fine nibs.

@mapcrow 2 года назад

I like Higgins Black Eternal Ink, but I'll leave the bottle open for 2-3 days to let it thicken up a bit more. Doesn't drip as much.

@JPCoovert 2 года назад

Yes! That's what I use for brushes!

@danbutcher8879 2 года назад

Nice work. You need to watercolour it, or import and photoshop it

@zzodysseuszz Год назад

If you used a Maru nib you wouldn’t need to worry about direction

@typoholic 2 года назад

Your map isn’t the same as the other, but it’s certainly no less lovely.

@benjipixel1438 Год назад

fun fact: Christopher Tolkien made the maps, not Tolkien himself

@Cubannerd 2 года назад

You might need a different ink. there are ones that dry pretty fast.

@JPCoovert 2 года назад

It's gotta flow though! Don't want the nibs getting all gunked up :)

@Cubannerd 2 года назад

@@JPCoovert there's an ink manga artists use that is really good for this kind of work. Deleter Black 4 Manga. They have one that dries fast and it can be use with watercolors. Winsor and Newton inks are great for calligraphy but they get wet again when you use watercolor on them.
